The right musical tone on an awful anniversary

One year ago, in my post, "Treating music as a hot potato," I wrote about how inappropriate it felt to listen to music on September 11, 2001.  Today, however, I listened to two Alison Krauss songs that I think are appropriate.  "Down To The River To Pray" is a tasteful request for strength when you need it most.  "How's The World Treating You?" is her duet with James Taylor, and it's an appropriate question to ask those who suffered losses on that terrible day or any other day.
